As part of your Guided-learning requirement of approximately 360 hours, you must have a minimum of 4 hours of supportive teaching observations. Any single observation must be a minimum of half an hour and your teaching sessions must be supported by appropriate session plans and schemes of work. The course involves describing, explaining and some evaluation and referencing.
The qualification is delivered online, using our bespoke Learning Platform, The Brain™, giving students access to their work anywhere and at any time.
The professionally written and designed course materials will guide you every step of the way.
We also understand that sometimes you will need more than just support from the learning platform. For this reason, once enrolled, you will be assigned a dedicated ‘Learning Angel’, who will provide you with support at every step of the way, including marking and feedback of your assignments.
Assessment is through a series of questions on The Brain™ Learning Platform, that will delve into your understanding.
You will need to provide evidence for each of the assignments. This is done in various forms, including extended writing, and professional discussion, as well as projects and presentations. As your delivery skills are being assessed, some assessments will require observation of your performance in the classroom.
You will need to complete a minimum of 100 hours of teaching practice.
First of all you need to be competent in the field you are planning to teach in. You should hold a position where you can carry out at least 100 teaching hours in a given academic year. Having previous teaching experience is desirable but not essential to begin the course. You do not need to have completed the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training, although if you have, your work may be applicable for Recognition of Prior Learning and Achievement.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a method of assessment (leading to the award of credit) that considers whether a learner can demonstrate that they can meet the assessment requirements for a unit through knowledge, understanding or skills they already possess and so do not need to develop through a course of learning.
You should undertake an initial assessment in English, Maths and ICT, with an action plan to achieve Level 2, if this is not already in evidence. You will need Level 2 English, be IT literate, and you must have internet access to log in to The Brain™.
Finally you will need to be self-motivated and have a desire to achieve your goals.
To enrol, chose a payment method – either in full, or drop us a line to discuss our instalment options.
